Forgive My Ex-husband

Chapter 144 Infidelity

"I don't believe you," Melinda spat out.

It was hard to imagine that she had said those words to the one she deeply loved.

Jonas lost all his strength from Melinda's shocking words. She pushed Jonas away and walked away

from him as he stared blankly at her direction.

Countless scenes had already happened between the two of them, but each of those times, it was him

who was the one who first left. But at this moment, Jonas felt the same feeling Melinda felt when her

heart was gripped by sadness.

"Jonas, there's nothing left to talk about. That's it. I've had enough," Melinda said.

Her voice was still soft, but the tone was very strong. Her words reflected how their relationship was

really hard to maintain.

She was too tired.

Melinda wanted to move back to the small villa, but Nelson and Queena stopped her. "There's no

reason for you to break up. You're just angry. Just let him sleep in the study. But, you can't move back."

Nelson didn't really care that the two were fighting again. He just wanted to prevent her from moving

back. Melinda didn't want to tell them the real reason why she wanted to move back because she

thought that Nelson and Queena might worry too much. She had to give up.

But it was obvious that Melinda and Jonas couldn't get along well.

The atmosphere during dinner was awkward. Yulia didn't dare to tell Nelson about anything.

Jonas looked at her with his cold eyes. His look was too cold and too strong.

Also, Melinda's attitude really irritated Jonas. No matter what he said, she wouldn't believe him. He

pushed Emily away as soon as possible. Why didn't Melinda see that?

Sometimes, fate was really good at playing jokes. When Melinda saw Emily kiss Jonas, she didn't even

bother to look at it longer.

One could say that women knew other women very well. Indeed, Emily expected Melinda to look away.

The two of them fell into a cold fight once again, and it was all because of Melinda's own ignorance.

She didn't listen to anything Jonas was trying to say.

As they were about to sleep, Melinda went to the guest bedroom and left Jonas alone in their bedroom.

Alone, Jonas tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep without Melinda.

Thinking of the misunderstanding was made by another person, Jonas picked up his phone and dialed

Emily's number. Emily answered it in a second, full of excitement in her voice. "Jonas."

Emily couldn't believe that Jonas contacted her. But she didn't know that what Jonas would say would

truly disappoint her.

"I think Melinda misunderstood everything that happened earlier today. It's you who's responsible for

everything! You have to explain everything to her and clear the misunderstanding," Jonas said.

Emily wouldn't dare to refuse Jonas's request. His words were too cruel for Emily to hear.

She never thought that Jonas could be so cruel, even though he was being kind.

Emily was silent for a long time. "I'm sorry. It was my fault. I didn't expect that to happen. Trust me, I

really want to explain everything to her, but I'm not in A City. I'm in a shoot and I can't go back right

now," Emily said.

The truth was she was in A City. She quickly told her agent to contact the crew and accept the script

that she had just pushed.

The role was casually added to the movie's plot. It wasn't a main role nor a supporting role, and of

course, Emily didn't want to accept this.

Her reputation would certainly cause the people to claim that she only acted for a friendship if she

acted well. But if she acted badly, she would certainly make a fool of herself.

When Jonas heard Emily's excuses, he quickly hung up the phone. He was becoming too agitated,

wondering why everything that had been happening was all bad news.

Emily's eyes were full of disappointment when the phone was hung up. But she immediately turned her

bitter face with a smile of mockery. She knew that a big fight happened between Melinda and Jonas.

Jonas couldn't help but feel anxious. He didn't even wanted Emily to explain it to Melinda, but he had

no choice.

Bang! Jonas smashed his phone onto the wall. He pulled his hair until his scalp turned numb.

The commotion happening in Jonas's room shocked Melinda. She heard everything—poundings of the

wall and things being kicked on the ground.

She knew that all the noise was just Jonas throwing tantrums. Melinda smiled and leaned against the

bed, acting as if nothing happened. Her mood was lightened by a document she saw in her laptop.

The title was quite eye-catching.

A divorce agreement!

Melinda had already forgotten why she came back to the Gu family.

She didn't want to continue living like this. All she thought about was leaving.

But she wasn't strong enough. She thought about how leaving would certainly interfere with everyone's

future.

Marriage and chasing love were like child's play. Marriage, divorce, and re-marrying were hovering in

her mind.

The divorce agreement was the same as the last one, and she would still choose to leave without

taking a single penny from this family.

She immediately sent the document to the lawyer in her studio. The lawyer was in charge of the novel

area, and he had to ask a friend who was a divorce lawyer. Then they helped Melinda polish it out.

In the study room, Melinda printed the documents in two parts and signed her name on them.

She left the documents on the desk for Jonas to see.

Melinda didn't even want to hand them personally to Jonas. Jonas would certainly see the documents if

she left the documents in the study.

Sure enough, Jonas came to the study not long after Melinda left. He had a lot of things to deal with

every day. Since he couldn't finish all of them in the company, he would continue working in the study.

As soon as he walked into the study, he saw the conspicuous documents on the desk. He could feel

the heat on the freshly-printed papers.

The documents felt as if it were burning.

When he saw what the papers were, he dropped them. But he still opened the documents. Seeing that

Melinda had already signed them, he was in deep shock.

Melinda's handwriting looked graceful. After publishing several books, she had to sign many of them.

Usually her signature was simple, only having a few strokes. But in this document, her signature looked

firm. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Jonas held on the documents tightly. He finally loosened his grip on the papers and threw them in the

paper crumbling machine. In an instant, the documents that Melinda signed had become no more than

scraps of paper.

Jonas picked up the scraps and angrily threw them on the desk. He was in no mood to deal with things

like those.

The next day, Melinda went to the study early in the morning to look for the divorce papers. All she saw

were a pile of shredded papers. While she was trying to understand what happened to the documents,

a strong aura approached her from behind.

It was Jonas. He stood there with a sullen expression on his face. There was a stubble on his face and

his eyes were bloodshot red. He obviously didn't sleep well last night.

"Melinda, it's impossible for us to get divorce. Don't even think about it," Jonas said.

Jonas had thought about this for the whole night. He didn't want Melinda and him to get a divorce, even

if she insisted on it. He wanted to tie her up with a certificate, even though he knew it was possible that

they would be fighting all their lives.

"Jonas, is our life really meaningful?" Melinda asked with a cold smile.

She rolled the pieces of paper into a ball and threw it over at Jonas. Then a sense of powerlessness

swept over her.

"Why don't you trust me?" Jonas said.

Jonas stared closely at Melinda with his red eyes. Melinda was startled to see that Jonas really looked

destroyed.

"There is nothing to trust anymore," Melinda indifferently said.

She turned around and left him there, not even wanting to print more divorce papers. The two of them

looked very childish.

Jonas watched Melinda as she left. The expression in his eyes couldn't even be painted. After that, he

went to the bedroom, washed up, and changed his clothes.

When he saw the divorce agreement on the desk last night, he thought that Melinda didn't want to see

him. So he stayed there and waited.

In the dining room downstairs, Yulia was already there, sitting at the table. Yulia rarely woke up early.

She was simply waiting to witness the fun. However, Melinda said she had something to do and left

without even eating breakfast.

When Jonas went downstairs, he was eager to see Melinda but she wasn't there. She avoided him,

even if it meant being rude.

Within the next few days, Nelson found out that there was something wrong. Melinda and Jonas's

relationship had gotten worse. Three days had already passed and it seemed that it was going

nowhere.

Nelson couldn't help but interrupt Melinda when she was about to leave the dining room again.

"Mellie, aren't you going to tell Grandpa about what happened between you and Jonas?" Nelson

wanted to know the reason behind their fight. He thought that if he knew the reason, he could take

some actions.

If he didn't know the reason for their fight, he wouldn't know how to fix it. Based on his observation, he

was sure that all of it was Jonas's fault.

Melinda had been the one refusing to fix the relationship. She even avoided Jonas.

Melinda was too embarrassed to tell Nelson the reason. She didn't want to worry about him either. She

just didn't want to talk to anyone about it.

"Mellie, don't you trust me anymore? You don't tell me anything about yourself anymore. Maybe, I am

too old to help," Nelson said.

He tried to be as intimidating as possible, and Melinda fell for it. Nelson had served in the army before,

so he knew how to bluff.

Talking to Nelson made Melinda remember her own grandfather. A feeling of grievance crept up in her

heart.

"Jonas betrayed me. He had an affair with Emily," Melinda stammered.

She managed to be calm, but her voice couldn't help but tremble. Nelson's eyes widened in shock. He

almost failed to catch his breath.

His crutch fell to the ground.

"That bastard! I've told him countless times that Emily is a bad person. I asked him to stay away from

her. But it seems that he is still pestering her. I'll beat him to death today!"

It took Nelson a long time to recover. He was so angry that he almost fainted. At that moment, Jonas

went downstairs. When Nelson saw Jonas, he picked his crutch up and hit him really hard.

He was as cold as ice.

"You bastard! You have to learn how to act towards woman! You promised me that you would take

good care of Melinda, but still, you chose to tangle with that Emily. You're a really stubborn man, aren't

you?"
